A healthier planet begins with a healthier home and a healthier home begins with you. We all desire more sustainable ways of living and an eco-friendly home in which to live.

Tips for an eco-friendly home:

Toothbrushes: The majority of plastic toothbrushes are composed of nylon and polypropylene plastic which originate from fossil fuel. Millions upon millions of these toothbrushes are discarded annually. There are alternatives on the market.

Low-flow toilets: A low-flow toilet will save you cash with each flush. Your water bill and the environment will thank you.

Fill your garden with native plants: Cultivating plants indigenous to your area will ensure your garden is in balance with the environment and nature.

Purchase toiletries with zero-waste: Some suggestions are dry shampoo and refillable soap containers.

Low-flow shower heads: Similar to the low-flow toilet or low-flow faucets, these eco-friendly additions to your home will help the environment and save you money.

Home grown vegetables: Many vegetables are relatively easy to grow at home and you can choose organic with less cost and more nutrients.
